Quantum Scalar LTFS Appliance
Enabling New Ways to Manage, Access, and Protect Data
Scalar LTFS Appliance
Overview:
Scalar LTFS appliance enables new ways to manage, access, and protect your data. It is ideal for workflow portability, data and content protection, and long-term archive in environments that want to leverage the LTFS open standard and take advantage of tape’s long-term reliability, low cost and physical portability.
Leverages The LTFS Open Standard
Storing your data in the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) open standard is the best strategy for supporting data transportability and long-term data accessibility.
Inexpensive Nas Storage For Archive
Access your tape libraries as a NAS file share. You can even drag and drop files between your tape archive and your primary working storage.
Works With Your Existing Applications And File System Tools
Archive files are directly available to your existing applications and file system utilities. Access to your archive data and searching for your files no longer requires proprietary backup applications!
Scale Across Partitions And Libraries, Up To 18pb Of Data
Protect your investment by buying only the performance you need. Scalar® LTFS can scale up as your data and performance needs grow.
Easy Appliance Deployment
Scalar LTFS is an appliance, designed and configured to handle your specific performance requirements. These userinstallable appliances offer performance for large organizations and simplicity where IT support is limited.
Get The Most Utilization From Your Tape Library
Use the library capacity you need for your traditional backup data, and leverage other library slots to store your LTFS archive data.
